So I know nothing about fscache. If you decide these functions should stay in as you are going to use them soon, then I can just convert them to the new API as everything else. What just caught my eye and why I had a more detailed look is that I didn't understand that 'PAGEVEC_SIZE - pagevec_count(&pvec)' as a pagevec_lookup() argument since pagevec_count() should always return 0 at that point?
